Default Shock/Spring Question

Are the Koni Reds still good shocks even tho there not adjustable? I cant afford the yellows. Also i want about a 2 inch drop, but i want my ride quality to be good; i dont want it to be so stiff it feels like im riding with no shocks. For this drop and ride quality, what kind of spring/shock setup do you all recemend??

Mike

'they are adjustable, just not when they are on the car. As far as your other questions im not sure as i have never used the koni red, all other koni products i had were great though

Mike,

If you can't afford the difference in price between reds and yellows then maybe you should invest your money in getting a better job through more education. Or maybe you should just put the money in the bank. Modifying your car on a tight budget is not a great idea. When you cheap out on suspension parts, you end up costing yourself more money in the long run. Be smart, be patient and do it right the first time.

regards,
alan
